how to restart Cccam

Hello.

Try other cccam2.3.2 for your set-top box (certainly not all cccam2.3.2 binary files are the same). Try to play with the Cccam settings because freezing is not resolved by rebooting (not on the great Vu+ set-top box in combination with modern Enigma2 distributions).

Also in softcams is the ability to store Cccam LOG-records to a flash drive instead of to RAM memory. Then find out what caused your Cccam to freeze.

If you would like to restart Cccam, it would be best to do it with the help of the CRON scheduler and add a script to it every minute (* * * * * /etc/init.d/softcamchecking). In the script you can test whether the script is running. If you don't have a script, get some or write yourself :). For example:

#!/bin/sh

if ps -C CCcam; then
    killall -9 CCcam
    /usr/bin/CCcam
fi

If a "softcam.cccam" script already exists in the "/etc/init.d" folder, you can add it to the "check" argument with a new function and then call this script from CRON - for example, as "sh /etc/init.d/softcam.cccam check".

Cccam doesn't need a start-stop-daemon tool or I'm wrong ? Maybe that's the cause of wreck the service. What exactly will happen if it freezes ? Cccam will stop working ? For example, you will verify it through cccam webif - http://ip-of-your-set-top-box:16001 .

To automatically cccam fall down detection + restarts:

1) add this code under the case "$1" in section in your "softcam.CCcam" bash-script file:

check)
    if ! ps -C CCcam; then $0 restart; fi
    ;;

2) add into the file "/etc/cron/crontabs/root", the following line:

* * * * *     sh /etc/init.d/softcam.CCcam check

(BTW, OpenPLi needs to install a CRON service if it has not been installed yet)

2) add into the file "/etc/cron/crontabs/root", the following line:

* * * * *     sh /etc/init.d/softcam.CCcam check

(BTW, OpenPLi needs to install a CRON service if it has not been installed yet)

If the "/etc/cron/crontabs/root" file does not exists, create/change it by the following steps:

1) crontab -e command in the Shell to open the default user CRON configuration/script file

2) add the new one line mentioned before

3) exit the editor with saving the file

- for Nano editor press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + X and then press Y key and confirm the path and file name with ENTER key (it also doesn't matter that the location of the file is still in the temporary folder - so just confirm saving the file)

- for Vi editor write the following text on your keyboard :wq (write and quit) and then press ENTER key

4) restart the cron service with the following command: sh /etc/init.d/crond restart

Yes, Oscam is much better and supports multiple protocols. Although Cccam also supports more communication protocols today, Oscam is still getting better. Oscam is on the way to great popularity. Oscam has very good support on the internet. I think the first one to fix the SKY DE packet error was just the developers of Oscam (since version 11517-11518).

What do you mean by the "local" and the "your channel" ?

What about the language ? In the image backup ? Sorry, I don't understand you :-/.

So apparently in the downloaded image is included Oscam older version ? What is the version of Oscam ?

Why do you need a BUG repair for Sky provider ? Is this satellite provider also in Italy ?

I think you need to change the configuration in Oscam in addition to the new version 11518 and later. I don't remember exactly, sorry. There is a special discussion thread about the Sky provider problem mentioned here somewhere.

Here is the discussion thread:

(if it didn't work in your Oscam again)
